~~

What is one item you could not live without?
Probably my phone, that sounds bad, but it contains so many of the memories and videos  that I have of Sophie.  By the way, I have to replace my phone...Sophie broke it, broke the screen...I just can't even.

What is something/someone that makes you laugh?
Kyle easily.  He's always cracking jokes.  He's more the comedian, but I'd have to say Sophie cracks me up with her antics as well.

If you could ever change your first name, what would it be and why?
All I would do is change my legal name to be the name I go by Liz.   My full name is Elizabeth.  That's all.  Elizabeth is just too long.  Liz is such a better name for me.  I don't feel like an Elizabeth, that feels kind of strict and uptight.

What's the story behind your blog name?
Broad answer is here .  But the real answer is because when this blog first started it started out with a different name, you may see it on some of the older posts.  The permanent name for the blog came from one of the posts I wrote, it was the first one where I really noted how much I loved Sundays.  It was before Kyle switched from Sunday evenings to Tuesday evenings, but Sunday mornings were the times that I got to spend with just Kyle and Sophie together, and nothing else in the world mattered.  Straight copy and paste from the page "sundays with sophie" in my header.

What is the best thing you have splurged on?
Probably my longchamp bag, talked about how much I loved it here .  While I didn't pay full price for the bag, I only paid $90, it was still expensive to what I've normally would buy. I  used to buy the $10 purses.

If you could spend one day with any celebrity, who would it be and why?
While I definitely agree with what Mattie said in her post...I think I would want to spend the day with Angelah Johnson , because she is hilarious!  I'd spend most of my day dying of laughter probably.

What did you want to be when you grew up?
A mom and a wife.  Check and check.  There were no other dreams or aspirations, just those.  I don't know if that's a bad thing or a good thing.  It's what I grew up with in my family and it's what I kind of just thought would be my future.

What is your favorite place in the entire world?
Anywhere Kyle and Sophie are is my favorite place.

If you had a super power what would it be?
Teleportation.  And by that I mean kind of like apparition in Harry in Harry Potter or in Nightcrawler in X-Men , or David in Jumper .  They can not only teleport themselves but others!  Makes for travel and vacation so easy.  Probably more like David or Harry because they don't necessarily need to see the place they're teleporting to.

What book are you currently reading?
Something Borrowed
Something Borrowed tells the story of Rachel, a young attorney living and working in Manhattan. Rachel has always been the consummate good girl---until her thirtieth birthday, when her best friend, Darcy, throws her a party. That night, after too many drinks, Rachel ends up in bed with Darcy's fiancé. Although she wakes up determined to put the one-night fling behind her, Rachel is horrified to discover that she has genuine feelings for the one guy she should run from. As the September wedding date nears, Rachel knows she has to make a choice. In doing so, she discovers that the lines between right and wrong can be blurry, endings aren't always neat, and sometimes you have to risk all to win true happiness. Something Borrowed is a phenomenal debut novel that will have you laughing, crying, and calling your best friend.

I probably wouldn't read this if I was engaged and didn't trust my best friend, it'll give you a complex.

And here are my questions:

1. What's your favorite candy bar?
2. What's your least favorite chore?
3. What would you say is your best quality?
4. What's a secret talent that you have that no one knows about (but now the world will after you post this)?
5. Favorite kind of date?
6. What is your guilt pleasure TV show (that one you don't want anyone to know you watch)
7. What was your worst date?
8. Your favorite hairstyle you love to wear?
9. Whats your LBD look like? (little black dress)
10. Place you'd love to visit?
11. What's your favorite room in your house?
